Fighting the Slug.

A. D. Henderson, ranchman of Mon
tana, was in the city yesterday, says the
Portland (0r) Neees, and departed by the
overland train for California. He has
been running a band af about 500 sheep
on O'Fallon creek the past five years.
They went into the winter in good condi-
ton and had all the care, protection and
feed necessary to have brought them
through in good shape, but notwithstand-
ing this he lost all but 400. About Jan
uary they began dying, and at last he
lost 1900 in twenty three days. He SAYS
they We're affected with the slug, an insect
about the size and shape of !; large bean.
He pulled the wool from the dead ami
mails and got about four pounds from
each. His sheep sheared last year on an
average of eight pounds per head. Mr..
Henderson places his loss at S13, coo. He
mentioned the names of ten other sheep
men in eastern Montana, whom he under
stood have lost more than seventy-fve
per cent. Of their sheep from the same
clllse. Mr.. Henderson says he has heard
some other cattlemen place their losses at
from fifty to seventy five per cent. Mr..
Henderson says he intends to buy up some
5000 Wethers in Oregon the coming
summer, and winter them in eastern Mon
taala. He will shear them in the spring
and in the fall ship the whole band to
market. He thinks this more profitable
way of handling sheep.

Billings to Great Falls.

BILLINGS. May 27-Ispeeial to the
TribuneL The Montana Stage Com
pany has made arrangements with a
northern stage line to carry passen-
gers and baggage through to Great
Falls The fare from Billings to
Great Falls will be $21.5O. This un-
doubtedly will be a great help to
both this city and to the prospective
northern metropolis of Montana near
the falls of the Missouri. It will en-
able those who desire to go north to
have direct line of transit from a
railroad point, and also persons living
at intermediate points can travel direct
without taking a round about way.
Surely this will be looked upon as an
enterprise to advance the interests of
Billings and Great Falls.

Too Busy in Montana.

ST. PAUL, May 25-A large number of
Huronites have held conference with
President Hill of the Manitoba road. They
laid before him direct proposition to ex-
tend the WaterSown branch of the Mani
toba road, now under construction, from
Benson to Huron this year. Mr.. Hill was
willing enough to build the extension, but
said that he could not possibly do so this
year. His iron supply is already con
tracted for, and is all intended for the
north Dakota and Montana work, and can
not be used elsewhere. With 1,1o0 miles
to be built there, Mr.. Hill did not feel that
he could undertake to enter south Dakota
this year. He gave the Huronites every
assurance, however, that with the present
prospects he would build to Huron next
year and connect his Minnesota sys-
tenn with that Of south Dakota.

FALLS MORNING. MAY 2 1887


and Morgan, the men who have lease on
the Harris & Lloyd tunnel and have been
working at it for the past two or three
months. At distance of about $50 feet
in from the mouth of the tunnel, at a
point where vein was cut when the tun-
mel was being driven, they commenced
last week to upraise. About twenty five
. feet above the tunnel they struck between
three and four feet of ee-milling silver
ore which assays about seventy-tive
ounces. The hillside is pretty steep at
the point where the tunnel enters it, and
it is estimated that it is over 400 feet up
to the surface from where they are now
working. If the shoot extends any con-
siderable part Of the distance they have
got a good thing. At the expiration of
their lease the st. Louis parties to whom
the property is bonded will take hold.

4 SOUND LAWYER.

Mr.. Clough who has leftthe North
ern Pacific railroad to join the Mani
toba as assistant to President Hill is
an able lawyer, who is thoroughly
conyersant with the railroad and COM
mercial interests of the northwest.
He defended both in some letters to
the Chicago Tribune when the inter-
state bill was before congress. He
entertains the old-fashioned notion
that this country ought not discrim-
mate against its own railroads, and
thus divert traffic to the Canadian Pa
cific or any other Canadian lines. He
discerns rightly that traffic is as much
an element of business as trade sales
or industrial production, and as such
should be guarded.

The SEMI-WEEKLr TRIBUNE has be-
come popular all at once. We have
received about one hundred new sub
scribers since the first was issued last
week. It is a good paper for the
ranch, the farm or the mining camp;
for all, in fact, who have not time to
read the daily edition It is also the
right kind of a paper to send to peo-
pie who seek information about Great
Falls. People who wish to benefit
the city should send it to moneyed
men, farmers and mechanics. They
ought to send successive copies, SO
that their friends may learn each
phase OF progress in Great Falls.

NEEDLESS EXPENSE.

The suggestion in the report
OF the the grand jury Of Cho-
teau county touching the extravagant
and needless expense of bringing wit
nesses from distance, when the tes-
timony of such witnesses is Of no ae-
count whatever when, in fact, there
is not sufficient evidence to warrant
an Indictment at all, calls for careful
consideration from the legislature.
The remedy is not within the reach
of the county commissioners. The
evil flows from more remote cause,
and the proper way to deal with it is
to remove that cause. IL the code of
criminal procedure were SO amended
as to require the committing magis-
trate to write down the testimony of
each witness at preliminary examina-
ton, and if when the prisoner is held
for the grand jury the magistrate
were required to file this testimony
with the clerk of the district court for
the information of the county attor-
ney (who is supposed to have a good
knowledge of the law, such useless
expense might be curtailed in part at
least, because the county attorney
would then be able to determine the
relative Importance of each witness
before applying for subpnnas to se-
cure his or her attendance. This
matter merits the attention of the
legislature and is subject of concern
to taxpayers in each county.

OUR MINING RECORD.

It appears from the report of the
mint director that Montana now ranks
next to Colorado in the production of
gold and silver. Orr territory thus
takes the lead of all other states or
territories in that respect. She dis
tances the Golden State and ontranks
Nevada, whose Comstock lode seemed
at one time inexhaustible. We have
reason to be proud of the rank ae-
corded us, but it should be borne in
mind, to our eredit,fhat it is more diff
ficult to collect mining statistics in
Montana than in Colorado, where
all roads seem to lead to Denver. On
this account Montana returns NAV
fall short of the actual amount. Col
orado also has the advantage of state
government, an extensive railroad
system and the use of much foreign
capital The Leadyille discoveries
enriched Denver and gave an impulse
to Colorado mining which is felt to
this day. Despite all this Montana
is gaining on the Centennial State.
She will gain more rapidly when the
new trunk lines are complete, and
Great Falls provides facilities for the
reduction of ores as great as those
which ex-senator Hill and others
have established at Denver.

A Brave Man.

Mr. Charles P. Masinnis, mayor of
Morris, Mimi, who now goes to Duluth as
receiver Of the land office, is the
hero of the late Rio railroad disaster-a
brave, reso1ute man. It was he who
saved Mrs. schuette's children from the
burning cars, and at risk of his own life
attempted to save her, and did not desist
until the flames drove him back. He
worled SO valiantIy for others that he
lost all of his own effects. Bishop Whip
pie paid him high compliments for his
heroism. Mr.. Maginnis is brother Of
Major Martin Maginnis, who was lately
the guest of Great Falls.

Another Theatre Holocaust.

PARIS, May 27-The bodies of the bal
:. let dancers who lost their lives in the
burning of the theatre, known as the Opera
Comique, Wednesday night, are lying ex-
posed in the ruins of the theatre. The
firemen assert that many bodies are lying
in the upper galleries. The number of
persons killed already exceeds previous
estimates. Fan excited crowd surrounds
the ruins, which are guarded by military
Gordon. Twenty bodies in a horribly mu-
tilated condition have been recovered from
Che ruins. The remains are principally
bullet girls, choristers and macLinists.
Twenty more bodies were found this af-
ternoon in the ruins. The search contin-
ues. The remains of three men and wo-
men were found in the stage box, where
the victims had crawled to take refuge
from the flames. 1t is ascerfained that
many bodies are buried in the upper gal
lerfes. where escape was very difficult
The government proposes to close several
Paris theatres in view of the deficiencies
sn fire escapes,
The bodies of eipht ladies, all in full
dress, were found lying together at the
door of the stairs leading from the second
story. These ladies all had escorts to the
theatre, but no trace of men We're found
near where the women were burned to
death. The walls of the theatre were fall
ing this evening, and search for the bodies
had to be abandoned for the day.
The manuscripts and records OF the
theatre were entirely destroyed, including
many valuable musical scores. Six thous
and costumes were burned in the theatre.
The work of searching for bodies was
resumed tonight and several more were
exhumed. The officials say fifty bodies
have already been recovered.
Mr.. Reveilie, speaking in the chamber
of deputies estimates that at least 200 per-
sons lost their lives in the fire.
The chamber of deputies has voted 81,
900 for the relief of the sufferers. To-day
inquiries were made for 1856 persons who
probably perished in the flames. The
floor of the theatre is flooded with
water to the depth of five feet. Forty
bodies have been found floating in the
water by the firemen.
